摘要
The interaction of a symmetric naphthalene diimide with alkylamino substituents at each imide position was investigated with the alternating sequence polymers, poly[d(A-T)]2 and poly[d(G-C)]2. Spectrophotometric binding studies indicate strong binding of the diimide to both sequences although the GC binding constant is 20-25 times larger than the AT binding constant. Analysis of the effects of salt concentration on the binding equilibria shows that the diimide forms two ion pairs in its complex with both polymers as expected for a simple dication. Stopped-flow kinetics experiments demonstrate that the diimide both associates and dissociates from DNA more slowly than classical intercalators with similar binding constants. Analysis of salt concentration effects on dissociation kinetics rate constants (k(d)) reveals that slopes in log k(d) versus log [Na+] plots are only approximately half the value obtained for classical dicationic intercalators that have both charged groups in the same groove. These kinetics results support a threading intercalation model, with one charged diimide substituent in each of the DNA grooves rather than with both side chains in the same groove, for the diimide complex with DNA. In the rate-determining step of the mechanism for dissociation of a threading complex only one ion pair is broken; the free side chain can then slide between base pairs to put both diimide side chains in the same groove, and this is followed by rapid full dissociation of the diimide. This sequential release of ion pairs makes the dissociation slope for dicationic threading intercalators more similar to the slope for classical monocationic intercalating ligands. Kinetics studies, thus, provide a very clear method for distinguishing classical from threading intercalators. Similar experiments can also distinguish intercalation from groove binding modes.
